India's best houseboat hotels: The Fab Five

Discovery Houseboat, Kerala backwaters
The hull of this authentic kettuvallam houseboat has been combined with an
electric motor, making it more environmentally-friendly than traditional
vessels. Enjoy views of the Keralan backwaters from the sitting room or the
private deck, where a private chef can prepare a variety of cuisine, from
the fruity to the fiery.
